Thank you for your time and explaining the different types of coal. I had no idea they had different names. I drove by a sign and it said nut and rice anthracite and I didn't understand it. That's how I found your video. Again thank you.
Thanks for watching. I'm glad it was helpful. :)
You missed buckwheat size that falls right in between rice and pea. Most stokers designed for rice will burn buck without any problem, although you will need to adjust the coal feed rate and the air a bit to get an efficient burn. It's a few dollars less per ton to buy and some people like it. I burn it when I get it for free and it's no problem, except that I notice that when it's burning at the right mixture my stoker isn't quite capable of reaching its highest BTU production. Although my sticker boiler is rather large and it's rare that I need to run it at its highest capacity.
Some people like to mix rice and buck and burn it together and they do get good results although nothing spectacularly different
Sarah ! I would appreciate it if sometime you could do another video on how these anthracite coal types are used in various heating units and especially cookstoves. I was in England long ago for 12 weeks through what was for them a rare deep cold winter. The lady who was my host, put three chunks of what you call Stove Coal on her fireplace grate. The heat they put out was so great I couldn't sit closer than six feet without feeling like my skin was going to ignite. : )
Thats a great idea. Maybe I can arrange that sometime. I don't actually burn coal in Montana, because we mostly have soft coal, and it's not easily accessible. These videos were filmed in PA where they have access to hard coal everywhere. I'm still learning in this area, but I will definitely keep it in mind for a future video. Thanks for your comment. :)
Where does slack coal fall into this
You missed regular nut coal and buckwheat coal
Hi Sarah. I have about 50 lbs of what I think is anthracite coal. They are large chunks up to 8-12 inches. How can I positively identify whether or not it is anthracite coal or bituminous coal?
You would need to contact the supplier of the coal to be sure the type of coal. I cant really advise of any physical differences for you to tell the difference.
Anthracite breaks and the pieces have a more sharp edge then bituminous and when the anthracite is broken the fresh surface is quite shiny
Although it's really not an important point because anthracite picked up at the coal breaker is at most seven cents a pound.
Do you know how anthracite coal is made?
You start with large forests and green plants they get covered up by some seismic event, you wait like 10 or 20 million years, and then you dig it up.
"Coal Manufacturers"? You mean to say, "Coal producers" because coal is not manufactured; otherwise, China would not have a coal shortage. 😂
